I tried to watch Amazing Grace (2006) but it was so boring. I've tried on three separate occasions but I just can't make it through. How do you make a film with such a grand cast about the horrors of slavery into pure tedium is a mystery to me!

People in Star Trek love their jobs because they're only subjected to three minute meetings.

Me: I voted for Donald Trump because I had him confused with that other guy. Donald Duck. NYT reporter: Are you sure you want me to print that next to your real name and a drawing of you? Me: Yes.

what does this guy think that Trump thinks his mistakes are
